I can’t believe how much I’ve written and shared with you all in the past three-and-a-half years. How much we’ve gone through here in this space. Mind you, not all thousand (thousand!!) posts are published, I have many that are drafts, many that are in place for me to expand upon some day; some that are vents or frustrations that needed typing but not necessarily sharing; some that serve as placeholders, or ones that need more research, reflection. But one-thousand posts have been created here on this blog. One. Fricken. Thousand. DUDE!

I am grateful. I am so very thankful. Mostly, I am just awestruck, folks.

I created this blog as a way to share my life with others, as a born-writer who missed it so, I felt the need to write, and so I did. Sometimes it was funny. Sometimes it was thought-provoking. But it felt so damn good to write from my heart again, and so, I just continued. I had no idea what I was in for, the wonderful people I’d meet, the places I’d go, or how much I, myself, would grow as a person, as a friend, as a mother.

Thank you so much for reading and getting to know me and my family over these thousand posts. I am beyond grateful for this space, for having the chance to get to know you, too. Here’s to a thousand more together!

Now, what about you? Are you celebrating this week/this month? Do you have a post you’d like to share with me? Maybe a “getting to know you” post I may never never read? Or, if you’re a reader and not a blogger, leave a few fun facts about yourself in the comments. I really love getting to know you all.
